Stephen is an excellent GM, he provides an excellent structure and backdrop for the campaign, but also allows players to engage and the freedom to play their character as they see fit.

Have been playing in one of SoL's campaigns for several sessions, and actively look forward to each one. SoL is great at world building, and allowing player characters feel fleshed-out within it. Ideas and possibilities are actively welcomed, and often expanded upon, allowing for greater depth and integration with the overall world. Works to give all players time to contribute to the table, encourages player interaction, and gives leeway to make sure the sessions are as fun as possible. If you're looking for good story-telling, engaging and dynamic combat, and great character building, SoL more than delivers all of the above.

I really like the how he runs the games. He allows for creativity when making your character. Good voice acting. He is happy for the players even when a big encounter turns into the players just giving the monsters a beat down. Also he really knows Forgotten Realms lore and activly uses it.

the card start was a great way to build a world!

We are playing in a new campaign of SoL's own design. It is an incredibly compelling and immersive world, with great plot hooks right at the launch. Everyone is able to express themselves and demonstrate their character's unique talents, with a highly balanced style of game play. Very pleased to recommend SoL and their games.

I started playing D&D last year and have played nearly every week with Stephen through a couple of one-shots and one longer ongoing homebrew campaign since December 2022! I've learned a great deal with his guidance, and feel very comfortable playing at his table. His storytelling and world-building are satisfying, with a great balance of RP and combat, and will ramp up either side if the table has a preference for the session. He helped walk me through character optimization to make the process of jumping in a lot quicker and encouraged collaborating with other players to make character backstories that lead to more meaningful roleplay scenarios outside of the one-shots. He has several returning players who have been around long before I joined, all skilled, creative, and helpful!
